Again, being hindered by software requirements and 1Password's own change in licensing prohibits me from updating: I've been on 1Password 6 for the past 6 years, where the last update for it was in 2018. But only if you don't force me to move all of my data to your servers. Price it like $10-15 for individuals per year and $20-25 for families and we can talk again. In my opinion, the current 1Password isn't worth what they ask today.
I mean it is a slap in your existing customers face to make them pay $40 - $60 a year when some random person can enjoy 50% off. In order for 1Password to get more money from me, I would expect them to bring back the option to use your chosen servers to store data (like iCloud) and provide more fair pricing for their existing customers. My old 1Password with iCloud sync works perfectly fine and when it stops working, I will simply switch to a different service. Until today I was seriously thinking about just going with one of these "deals", but now I have zero interest in upgrading from my 1Password 6 lifetime license. So what do you think a non-tech savvy person will do? They will of course just pay whatever is asked because they fear losing all of their passwrods.
So basically 1Password is in the position after one year to "blackmail" their customers to either pay or lose your data. Especially since now, they have taken away the option to store your sensitive data on your chosen servers (referring to iCloud here). Once people are in, many people don't know how to leave and will be stuck paying whatever people at 1Password ask. I mean they keep doing these " get 50% off" or get it " free" with Parallars deals just to hook and trick people into their ecosystem. However, after reading posts on this thread I feel 1Password is becoming a very different company than I thought them to be. I think developers should get paid if they have created a great app. Even though I'm very much against subscriptions (since they do start to add up quickly), I still would not mind paying $10 - $20 a year to have the latest version of 1Password.
